Abstract:The identification of defects is of great interest in the high-quality manufacturing of advance materials. The evaluation of tunnel defects in Al-7075 sheets processed by friction stir welding (FSW) using computed tomography (CT) and finite element method is explored in this work. The effect of axial force and temperature generated during the FSW was assessed. Four rotary speeds were evaluated (1600, 1700,1800 and 1900 rpm), each at two different welding speeds (15 and 30 mm/min). These joints are CT-scanned r… Show more
